Daniel Smith

He's cheaper than Simon because Kasper scores f@ all points to get paid

Not quite right, I want Buster to fail. On paper King's Lynn, Ipswich and now Peterborough are the weakest 3 teams in the league. Many people also agree with that. Do you know what makes tonight worst? Even 2nd tier Leicester managed 42 points at Ipswich

Anyone think this Stars team will deliver needs a reality check. Reserves abysmal and asking Kerr to deliver in the top 5 is a an ask. If Lambert has a bad day we're stuffed as proven. 1st meeting of the season or not, we've been shown up big time against the other weakest team in the league. Let the Wooden Spoon battle commence with this current septet.

I'm not no Buster fan but the situation at Peterborough was caused initially by Rathbone over budgeting and Cook's sulking and greed. As for Tungate being better than a spiralling Harris is laughable. Harris is a good team player and when the chips are down he can pull something out the bag. Tungate is just one of those steady rider's nobody talks about. Beat nobody of significance against Belle Vue whereas Harris would of likely won at least one of those heats. Harris every time over Tungate.

Harris, Andersen, Cook, Wilson-Dean, Wright, Bjerre, Barker = Cheap If you believe that you'll believe anything

Just repeating what was said by someone else. What was said seems to be what exactly happened. Would be one hell of a coincidence if it ain't true don't you think? Buster takes over, rider's gone before a wheel turned.

What's the real situation then?

You was warned weeks ago about the situation. Ged was selling the club regardless. Buster was the only one to come forward and Ged sold to him. Ged signed the rider's on HIS budget but was warned by Buster that the only way Ged was keeping that team is if he could find another buyer or sponsors who could budget the team. None was found, Buster took control and rider's had to play ball within his budget or leave. Harris and Cook have chosen to leave. All in all, the blame really is with Ged for over budgeting the septet and lying to the fans. We even had Watson on here saying it was nonsense then exactly the above happened.

What a laugh pressing an option on Twitter is I suppose some are easily entertained

The reason I find the fan voting nonsense so tedious is it really has no bearing on the meeting. You jave a pick between the top 4 scorers. It's totally irrelevant and nullified which heat they go in. It's just a pointless exercise imo

Yes it does, as highlighted above. Think you probably miss understood what Robin meant. You can't only have 3 rider's available for heat 15, that would be ridiculous. But I suppose it wouldn't have been, this is British Speedway of course

With the attitude Darcy shows, I'm more than justified in why I gave no money to his fund. He really is a horror of a person

Then you lose that potential exposure for being an arrogant business owner that can't see the bigger picture. If the racesuit was the same colour as your logo and pale into insignificance what would be your choice? Demand a club changes their suit colours Craig Cook in this situation is massively in the wrong, totally cutting off his nose to spite his face. He was willing to sacrifice his sponsors for more points money, how would you have felt as a sponsor if Cook turned around to you and said I'm earning more now, you're not required anymore?!?

I don't think both Cook or Buster come out looking good in this, but for me, Cook more so in the wrong. As Craig was willing to sacrifice his sponsors being black & white for more points money, he just counteracts his argument. Questions have to be asked to Chapman, and probably were, why's things different for Hans? Craig does seem to have this mentality that he's some kind of Speedway Superstar. With Buster, he understands how bang average Cook is so would never pay stupid money for him. I don't think Gomolski will be a bad replacement, he's a different beast to that in 2011.

Heat Format

Regulations

The BSPA Keith Chapman Everyone's opinion of British Speedway right now (apart from the blinkered)

With Buster owning 3 teams and the potential shenanigans that could go on, 14/1 for King's Lynn is by far the best bet available.

Should be from the main fence structure excluding airfence. Be ridiculous from the front of the airfence as some of them are a meter thick.

That's interesting as I thought any reconfigured or new track had to set the lighting a certain distance from the bends. If the lighting is set in between those two walls that looks a real h&s issue?!?

Just for the Sir Alex Ferguson reference Check out @FourFourTwo’s Tweet:

Nobody, it's just speculation that more effort has been put into Peterborough than King's Lynn. Maybe for Buster the stadium rent works out cheaper than running his own stadium on a Speedway night with all the water and electricity costs etc. An unrealistic maybe, but not impossible.

Lidsey back on a bike in Poland. Panic over on that front. Any update on Bewley??

To be honest, no none promoting manager should be considered a legend of any club. The only job they do really is try to motivate rider's. When required to do anything tactical, I find Middlo and Rosco inept. Peter Adams is one of the best tacticians out there. The other thing on the side of Adams and Rosco over Middleditch, they put their own money into the club's as promoters and have a say who's signed and replaced. Whereas Matt Ford does all the leg work at Poole. No matter which way you look at it, Middleditch has stolen a good wage from Ford for 20yrs. He would be found out with a new promoter in charge, he knows it so is jumping ship. Middleditch brings nothing to Poole Speedway.

I love it when Alex Ferguson's reign is described as being easy as the richest club. The majority of the winning under Ferguson's reign was with players coming through the ranks of the club which is where the club's wealth came from. For me, Middleditch has just been Ford's puppet. Ford says who rides for him, who's sacked, which replacements are needed etc. Middleditch for Poole is exactly the same as a team leader / supervisor in business, powerless in hiring and firing and just there to fire up the staff employed by someone else. Matt Ford is the reason and only reason for Poole's success.
